The JMSW program is a joint effort between NCA&TSU and UNCG. This means that both schools contribute resources to the success of the program. Students are students of both universities. Classes are held on both campuses; faculty from both schools teach; students have library and parking privileges on both campuses; and the degree is granted jointly by both universities. (The diplomas even have the seals of both schools.)

Can I work while I'm in the program?

It's been done. That said, it's not recommended. Full-time students take 15 credit hours per semester. Beginning in the second semester and continuing until graduation, students are in field placement 8 a.m.-5 p.m. three days a week. A choice to work does not excuse you from responsibilities in class or field placement.
